Recent hydrodynamic simulations of core-collapse supernovae with accurate neutrino transport suggest that the bulk of the neutrino-heated ejecta is proton rich, in which the production of some interesting proton-rich nuclei is expected. However, there are a number of beta-waiting points that prevent the production of heavy proton-rich nuclei beyond iron in explosive events such...
